How many tides does earth have everyday?
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
If the moon were closer to earth high tides would?
If the Moon were closer to the Earth, the high tides would be higher, and the low tides would be lower.
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
How does the moon affect the tides on the side of earth facing the moon?
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.
What tide is formed when the moon sun and earth are lined up?
Spring tides.
During an eclipse of the sun when earth moon and sun are lined up the ocean tides on earth are extra and are called tides?
b) high,spring.
How do low tides occurs?
Lunar tides and solar tides partially cancel each other out. (During high tides, they work together)
How many tides does earth have everyday?
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
If the moon were closer to earth high tides would?
If the Moon were closer to the Earth, the high tides would be higher, and the low tides would be lower.
Which phases of the moon cause the highest low tides and lowest high tides?
At the quarter moon phase, the gravity of the sun and the moon are working at right angles to each other, partially canceling out their tidal effects. This is when you'll get the highest low tides or lowest high tides, or "neap tides".
Why can you not see the moon when tide is high?
The tides are high when the Moon and the Sun are lined up on one side of the Earth. This is when there is the greatest gravitational pull on the water there. When the Sun is lined up right behind the Moon, then the Moon appears black (because the Sun's not on the other side to light it up)
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
What is the point of the moon orbiting the earth?

How does the moon affect the tides on the side of earth facing the moon?
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.
When are high tides created?
High tides form when the moon's gravity pulls on the side of the Earth facing the sun and facing away from the sun. This forms high tides
